Schwartz & Sandy’s Update: What Happened To The Toms’ New Bar?

Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval have been planning this bar forever. They introduced fans to Schwartz & Sandy’s on Season 9 of Vanderpump Rules. Many weren’t on board with the name, including Schwartz’s now ex-wife Katie Maloney. She hated the name and think it didn’t flow off the tongue.

Katie and Sandoval often butted heads about the bar. The Toms revealed that it would open sometime in the spring. However, a fan noticed that much hasn’t happened ever since they bought the venue. Is there still hope for Schwartz & Sandy’s to open this year?

No, Tom Schwartz was not at Coachella

Tom Schwartz made it clear that he was not at Coachella. A blind item hinted that he and Raquel Leviss were caught making out at the music festival. As TV Shows Ace previously reported, the newly single Vanderpump Rules co-stars were “boldly holding hands and making out.” It was apparently their second encounter, according to the alleged eyewitness.

Katie Maloney filed for divorce in March. Raquel ended her engagement with James Kennedy in December 2021. On Tuesday, April 19, Schwartz took to Twitter to the rumors. He hinted that he did not go to Coachella, which means he wasn’t making out with Raquel.

“Guys I hate to break it to you but I wasn’t at Coachella,” Tom Schwartz tweeted.

Guys hate to break it to you but I wasn’t at Coachella 😂

Over the weekend, the Bravo celebrity shared that he was spending time at Schwartz & Sandy’s instead. Schwartz took to his Instagram Stories to share a clip of himself hard at work. He pointed around the room, which hasn’t been renovated. He shared with his followers that he was at the Franklin Village location.

However, he didn’t reveal any context for his Instagram Story. Schwartz’s co-manager and friend Tom Sandoval was at Coachella. Raquel snapped a selfie of herself with him, causing more dating rumors to swirl. Schwartz and Sandoval are just two of the many Bravo celebrities that Raquel has been linked to in the past few weeks.

Schwartz & Sandy’s not opened yet?

Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval’s new passion project may not be ready for launch. A user took to Reddit to share a photo of their new bar. They noticed they didn’t renovate the exterior since they purchased it. Check out the photo for yourself here.

“Drove by Schwartz & Sandy’s today… doesn’t look like much is going on. This is the same exterior from the previous restaurant,” the fan wrote.

Some of the Pump Rules fans took to the thread to share their thoughts. Most of them aren’t surprised that Schwartz & Sandy’s isn’t opened yet. Tom Schwartz and Sandoval struggled with the opening of TomTom. Fans even wonder if Schwartz can take on another business.

• “These two are like watching toddlers play with Monopoly money.”
• “I wouldn’t be surprised if it never opened…”
• “Maybe we should give them a slight benefit of the doubt that their slow speed is dependent on waiting for the materials they ordered maybe lol.”
• “Must be hard to open a bar when you’re busy touring the country with your band.”

It’s likely that Tom Schwartz was left to do most of the work on his own. Sandoval has been touring with his band, Tom Sandoval & The MOST Extras. Supply chain issues could also be another reason why their bar has yet to open. Some fans also wonder if the reason it’s not open is that Vanderpump Rules hasn’t been renewed for a tenth season.
